Is this the unplated, not coated 1979 coin that collectors are dreaming about?

A what what,yes your dreaming!!looks fine to me besides some damage with circulation wear&tear.

 

Unplated . There's an unplated version ? Please explain . Thanks .

 

What? Unplated? Prior to late 1982, cents were not plated.
Looks like a possible die chip in the mint mark. NAV IMHO.

 

I guess there is. I heard a long time ago in a Youtube video.

 

Stop listening to YouTube!!!!lol that explains it.

 

Yea,Youtube stinks for coins .

 

It's not unplated, but it wasn't misinformation on YouTube either. Unplated cents are only found in years after 1982, as that is when they were given a copper layer on a zinc planchet. And when the mint doesn't add the copper layer, that is what is called an unplated cent, which is a rare error.

 

Now you know why I call it BoobTube.

 

Here are more pictures of that 1979 d coin. However, it does not miss something?

 

The unplated Lincoln’s would be on dates after 1982 and would look more like silver to gray.

 

DAMAGE,still a cent.

 

Sure there is an "unplated" version, Denver made 4,139,357,254 of them that year. What they didn't make was a "plated" version.

 

1986 they are all copper plated zinc...1979 no plating...
